Hairstyles Downstairs - You Know, for the Ladies

December 16th, 2005 by JJ

You all seemed pretty interested in a recent post about whether dudes should shave their ballsacks - so I figured I’d bring up a similar subject for the ladies.

Okay girls, play along here. Which type of hairstyle do you sport downstairs? And for the guys - what hairstyle do you recommend for women?

I’ll make it a little easier for you. I found a picture of a naked mannequin online and altered it to illustrate five of the most common pubic hair styles (according to O&A). Take a look:

Wood floor, shaved, Brazilian, bald

landing strip pubic hairstyle
Landing strip, Brazilian runway

hitler mustache pubic hairstyle
Hitler mustache, patch, little triangle

classic triangle pubic hairstyle
Classic triangle, bikini wax, trimmed

earth mama muff pubic hairstyle
Earth mama muff, hippie hair, happy trail

I’m going to have to go on the record as saying I enjoy the classic triangle on my lady.
on 16 Dec 2005 Maine

Any of them are fine with me. By the time I find out what kind of haircut I’ve got to contend with, I’m already halfway down to business, and I’ll be damned if I’m pulling up lame because she’s got anything short of bald spots.
on 16 Dec 2005 mel

whos got time for all that fancy stuff? lol
on 16 Dec 2005 CC Rider

I’d recommend anything but Earth Mamma, reminds be of Chewbaca and it’s kinda scary.
on 16 Dec 2005 Sar

A lady doesn’t wax and tell. Use your imagination.
on 16 Dec 2005 JJ

Okay - then perhaps…
What type of hairstyle would you recommend to a girlfriend looking for advice?
on 16 Dec 2005 Diane

I used to like this one back in the day, but I’d more likely support this one now.
on 16 Dec 2005 Diane

Argh! LOL Fix the html for me JJ!
on 16 Dec 2005 JJ

Fixed.
on 16 Dec 2005 JJ

Oh and for the record - out of the two you suggested, I think I prefer the first one. The second one scares me!
on 16 Dec 2005 April

I vary my hairstyle from the classic triange (only a really small triangle) to a diamond to a heart shaped. I used to do the landing strip and I once tried the wood floor. Notice I said once. Not a big fan of being completely bald. However, I must shave my lips (labia) because I just like it that way.
on 16 Dec 2005 Diane

LOL JJ Yeah April the wood floor has splinters. Not very comfortable.
on 16 Dec 2005 cousineddie

Hmmm…I *like* the wood floor.
on 16 Dec 2005 Omnipotent Poobah

I like the mannequin’s boobs.

Wait, what were we talking about again?
on 16 Dec 2005 LC

Waxing HURTS.
Whoever came up with the idea of pouring hot wax on THAT area and then ripping it off.. is clearly a MAN.
You boys should give it a try!
on 16 Dec 2005 Kevin Kubusheskie

Hehe.. you are all talking about vaginas.
on 16 Dec 2005 mojotek

I actually fall in the category of “just keep it maintained”. It’s all attractive as long as the hair’s not 3 inches long and starts going down the sides of her thighs.

From wood floor to classic triangle… I’m all up in it.

For those girls needing advice, start with the classic triangle. If you don’t mind doing that, then you can start to get a little crazy with it. The landing strip or straight bald-beaver are pretty fun (I’ve shaved a couple of both in my day). And if you go with the classic triangle, be sure to trim for length too, less than 3/4″ is appropriate. Remember, the more pleasing you make it for a guy to go down on you, the more often he’ll do it.

Wow, bet you didn’t think I knew this much about bush maintenance!
on 17 Dec 2005 Wysol

The harrier the better. I love pubic hair.
on 17 Dec 2005 heather

it seems fitting that i go away for a while, come back, and there are five sort-of women displaying varying degrees of pubic hair on the churning. well done, jj.
on 17 Dec 2005 trish

I really prefer to refer to mine as a mini mohawk. Gives it a bit of an attitude.
on 17 Dec 2005 karl

the classic lightening bolt cut is my tops.
on 17 Dec 2005 RockyJay

I prefer “landing strip” because it’s quite self explanatory ; when you totally drunk, you find pussy-soon-to-be-eaten easier.

Then again, if no eating, no carpet. ANY of it!
on 17 Dec 2005 J.Mo

Brazilian wood floors are sexy, for both men and women. Or trimmed, at a minimum.
on 18 Dec 2005 christa

As a British surgeon once said to me after removing my tubes - You ARE a real redhead :pp

Anyways…I prefer the trimmed triangle. Shave it all off is itchy as hell and there’s no wax in the world that would reach that region, that’s for sure :p

JJ…you’ve been Singled Out btw….or tagged…whatever the difference is.
on 18 Dec 2005 Marc

JMo, we’re always on the same page!
on 18 Dec 2005 JJ

I concur with J.Mo.
on 18 Dec 2005 MacBros

I like em’ all. Except the Chewbaca one.
So when do we recieve em’?
on 19 Dec 2005 the english guy

I have to say, the landing strip or wood floor are my favorites.
on 04 Apr 2006 liz

the one that i always have is the landing strip because i dont have much hair or space to be able to get to the classic triangle or the chewbaca ones
on 05 May 2006 trouble

Wood floor is my fave but it’s hell to maintain. The brazilian is excruciating. Worse than childbirth, in fact. I go back and forth between that, the landing strip and the triangle.
on 05 May 2006 JJ

Wood floor is my fave too.. It just seems cleaner to me.
on 05 May 2006 trouble

more sensation, too.

but I like a nicely groomed triangle on my man. go figure.
on 25 May 2006 mike

bald is the best but anything more harry than a landing strip is gross.

on 23 Aug 2006 pete

I prefer the “earth mama muff,” what can I say?
The “classic triangle” is nice too… anything else seems a bit unnatural, and boring.

Please, ladies, Hair is Good!
on 23 Aug 2006 JJ

Pete’s going old school! Rock on, dude.
on 30 Oct 2006 henry

Very good, although I was in a hairdressers once who had pics of “down under” styles, there was diamond, clubs, spades and hearts (deck of cards) and various capital letters, like T, F, V (to recall a few) Of course there is also the fully shaved version which is nice if a fella doesn’t want muff up his nose when going down.
On a similar note, I was discussing with Jean, what do sheila’s call “that area” and she had heard the term “The Playground” which is pretty cool and we now use. We have now coined a few phrases which we use.
“The playground is shut due to monthly maintenance”
“The Playground’s wide open and Ready…”
“There’s a light breeze over the playground” (no panties… invite for a visitor)

Have fun guys, share this with ya sheila
on 29 Nov 2006 Jtone

The fetish has become the norm and the norm the fetish. A true beauty keeps a bush. The wooden floor is a little too pre-pubescent. If we keep up all the hair removal and medical enhancements we all might as well move into the Barbie Beach House with Ken and Barbie…
on 29 Nov 2006 JJ

henry:
I love a little creativity when it comes to sex. The playing cards theme sounds particularly promising…

Jtone:
I can respect a guy who wants his lady to keep it au naturale downstairs. But it seems to me the fashion trend of late involves a close trim at the very least.

I would argue that if a true beauty keeps a bush, then a true beauty would also let her armpit hair grow, stop waxing her upper lip, stop plucking her eyebrows, and stop shaving her legs. Au naturale.
on 24 Dec 2006 William

In recent years the natural, that is bush, has been portrayed as an outdated fad. This is ridiculous. Unless women have evolved their hair away it’s still there. It probably developed to attract males in the first place. I know it attracts me. Please start a movement to bring it back. The classic triangle is my favourite although the earth mama muff has a lot going for it. The Brazilian has become boring. All of my male friends dislike it too and want pubes back. Give me natural any day!
on 24 Dec 2006 JJ

William:
I guess it comes down to personal preference. But if you suggest that keeping the bush is natural, then I assume you also prefer your lady to let her leg and armpit hair grow, along with her eyebrows, and upper lip.
on 24 Dec 2006 jayne

Lol, JJ.. the Au naturale is me.. :p but only cos i’m too lazy to shave and no-ones seeing anything anywho since i broke up with my last b/f about 3 month ago.. *shrugs* but usually i just go for a nice plain triangle.. it doesn’t half itch when the hairs growing back.. i was permantly using talc… :p
on 24 Dec 2006 JJ

Jayne:
Funny funny. I would recommend that even if you’re not getting any action, you’ve gotta keep it clean down there. You never know when you might have the opportunity for a skinny dip.

what about guy puubic hair styles I can’t think of anything to do with my shit
on 01 Jan 2007 J.Mo

Guys typically just trim it up or shave it all off.
on 05 Jan 2007 you all suck

how are you all saying that the natural public hair look is gross? you are all the same people who think that the smell of someone who isnt wearing perfume is gross too. if we werent meant to have hair down there, then we wouldnt be born with it. don’t get me wrong, my husband likes it when i trim it, but he would never complain no matter how hairy!
on 05 Jan 2007 JJ

Okay… Of course personal preference is fine. I’m just saying that the “God put it there” argument doesn’t make sense in modern society.

Sure, pubic hair is natural. But so is armpit hair, leg hair, ever-growing hair on your head, dreadlocks, toe jam, super long fingernails, wisdom teeth, etc etc etc. These things grow on our bodies, yet we cut them off to feel comfortable and to please our significant others.
on 07 Jan 2007 Henry

Hey “you all suck” this is just a discussion…. its not like international laws are being passed requiring you to shave yourself down below, LIGHTEN UP GIRL. I agree with JJ at the end of the day it comes down to Personal Preference, whether JJ believes in God or not, although the “God put it there” argument is very applicable in modern society.
on 08 Jan 2007 Mylene

I’m alright with the Classic triangle
on 14 Jan 2007 moosy

I think that pubic hairs are the most important way to please my man but I dont know which to go for - some advice ladies\!!!!
on 14 Jan 2007 JJ

moosy:
One of the most common and yet most striking styles is the Landing Strip. It looks cool and it’s functional. Start by completely shaving your labia. You want all the hair near your folds removed. But stop at the top of your cooch, where the pupic patch begins. That’s where you’ll shave off the sides and leave a strip in the middle.

If that sounds too complex, then just shave it all off. Your man will like that too.
on 15 Jan 2007 LiL~KiM

well i have landin strip lol its clean with a bit of personality lmao! i wudnt shave it all off tho i think it looks stoopid! lol x
on 17 Jan 2007 Matilda

I myself am all about the wood floor it just feels nicer and looks the best. Recently my boyfriend said somthing about a Dorito from the girls on his “game film” (that he watches every day and looks up when I’m not around and thinks about when we have sex)….but i won’t get started there…..But what is that dorito all about??
on 17 Jan 2007 JJ

Lil Kim:
Landing strip is cool, but don’t rule out the bald eagle. Some dudes really dig it.

Matilda:
Wow. I actually learned something new today! Thanks to you, I looked up “dorito” on urbandictionary.com:

(N) A style of grooming a woman’s pubic hair. Shaving the hair into a small, point-down triangle which resembles a Dorito snack chip.
on 09 Feb 2007 jim

I dont know how to ask my g/f to shave like any of these. any suggestions?
on 09 Feb 2007 JJ

jim:
Excellent question. All you have to do is ease into it. Act a little coy when you’re about to mention it. She’ll realize you’re not being critical or judgemental. Here are a few suggestions:

“Hey, ummmm… I want to tell you about this dream I had. It was really sexy. You and I were having sex and I noticed that you had shaved. It was really hot.” (Hopefully she’ll ask if you want her to try it.)

“Do you have any sexual fantasies? Anything you want to try?”
(Hopefully she’ll respond positively and ask about your fantasies as well. Then you can mention the shaving.)

Or just be straightforward about it, yet still coy:
“Hey… I had this idea… I don’t know if you’d be into it… It’s kinda kinky… But I was thinking maybe you’d be interested in trying something… maybe shaving… you know…” (etc etc)
on 11 Feb 2007 jim

Thanks for the info ill give it a try. hopefully it will end well =)
on 12 Feb 2007 JLaura

hey, i change my style every week or so for my boyfriend, well i keep a small patch of pubic hair at the front which i shave in to different designs itadds fun and excitement to the realtionship, but my favourite has got to be the shaven haven.
It just feels good to have his balls against my bald vagina xxx
on 23 Feb 2007 rpm

Keep it natural!

More guys love the hair than you would think!
on 25 Feb 2007 eric

i like shaving it all off except for my balls, i get kind of lazy down there so i usually just leave them alone. and by the way i prefer a woman to be completely shaven down there it really turns me on.
on 27 Feb 2007 Kadie

I love shaving completly bald. It makes me feel more clean, allows for better visuals etc. I definately NEVER have a bush… that even scares me!
on 27 Feb 2007 JJ

JLaura:
You are a good woman. I hope he realizes how lucky he is.

rpm:
Not to sound cliche, but “to each his own.” I know certain Asian cultures (and many more I’m sure) think of pubic hair as proof of womanwood and therefore sexiness. Current American trends tend toward the trimmed or shaved styles.

eric:
That’s interesting. I think other dudes shave the balls and simply trim the pubic patch. Must look like you’re frowing a beard down there.

Kadie:
I’m with you on this one. Cleanliness is key. Even if it just “feels” cleaner.
on 13 Mar 2007 Dannielle

I use to use the “landing strip” style all the time. I always refered to it as a mohawk though because it sounded cooler. It was easy to maintain and stuff. One time I accidently shaved a chunk of the hair off so I just shaved it all off and have been going bald eagle ever since. It is nice and I feel cleaner. The downside is the time it took for the itchiness of the hairs to stop where the old ‘hawk used to be.

[…] Now that I’m thinking of it, there are probably a lot of things about me that keep me from being a complete hippie: Personal grooming is very important to me, I love watching football, I’m a total computer geek, and I’m way too much of a slacker to be an activist. I guess in reality, I’m more of a yuppie than a hippie. […]
on 06 Apr 2007 Henry

Well maybe you are what I coin the people who live in Golden Bay near Nelson, South Island NZ, they are rich yuppies gone hippie, so are called YIPPIES, and I can imagine most of the sheila’s would have gone ‘earth mumma’ down below (just going by their ‘earth mumma’ underarms…. (thats the Yippies not the general population in that area))

So whats a Yippie downunder hairstyle? bearing in mind your parameters, Personal grooming is important but you’re a slacker (can’t be bothered spending the time shaving…?)
on 28 Apr 2007 Claire

I alternate between being clean shaven & having a landing strip. It just feels nicer! But I have to sympathise with Dannielle regarding the itchiness when it starts growing back, that part is not nice.
on 21 May 2007 Kara

Do the landing strip, it is cleaner and has a style to it.
on 12 Jun 2007 steve

I’ve never met a woman that is too hairy. Despite the current trend I much prefer a woman with super hairy thighs and a diamond not a triangle. My first girlfriend was endowed with such a massive, thick treasure trail you could barely makeout where her navel was. That’s still my kind of girl.
on 26 Jun 2007 scott

I would put my vote in for the triangle or the slightly trimmed (just around the edges) earth mama. My wife has a very thick, long bush and just trims enough to keep it from hanging out. To me there is nothing sexier than seeing her in a bikini or panties and seeing that big bulge of muff trying to get out…
on 24 Aug 2007 Alvin

I like a pussy with perfectly clean shaved lips, and the sides of the bikini area also clean shaved. However, there should be a fairly wide, and very long strip of hair in the middle of the bikini area, and the hair should be quite heavy and long in that area.

To me, this looks best when the long hairs are combed (or pulled) away from the body so that they stand out distinctly and look like a cushion.
on 03 Oct 2007 charlie

i find shaved the best, feels better for both persons during sex, and better for both for oral, i dont gag on a hair and she feels my tongue better. also the labia that is a perfect venus cleft, like a cameltoe shape when bald all nice and tucked like a young girl (not that im into lolitas)is very aesthetic and attractive, but if it looks more like a pastrami sandwich, perhaps a little triangle to hide that may be best.
on 18 Oct 2007 carlos

i prefer a full bush to the little girl styles
on 27 Nov 2007 emptyhandkiller

Personally, I prefer the wild and woolly crotch forest. I like to give her oral sex, and while my fat face is smooshing into her pelvis, I comb her bush down over my head and pretend that I am one of the Beatles! She loves you, yea, yea yea!
on 15 Dec 2007 Conoclast

Classic triangle or trimmed earth mama is great. Hate the bald eagle and landing strip. The more hair, the better. Pubic hair just drives me mad it’s so sexy xD leave it there girls ;D
